PurposeAAPM Task Group No. 263U1 (Update to Report No. 263 – Standardizing Nomenclatures in Radiation Oncology) disseminated a survey to receive feedback on utilization, gaps, and means to facilitate further adoption.MethodsThe survey was created by TG‐263U1 members to solicit feedback from physicists, dosimetrists, and physicians working in radiation oncology. Questions on the adoption of the TG‐263 standard were coupled with demographic information, such as clinical role, place of primary employment (e.g., private hospital, academic center), and size of institution. The survey was emailed to all AAPM, AAMD, and ASTRO members.ResultsThe survey received 463 responses with 310 completed survey responses used for analysis, of whom most had the clinical role of medical physicist (73%) and the majority were from the United States (83%). There were 83% of respondents who indicated that they believe that having a nomenclature standard is important or very important and 61% had adopted all or portions of TG‐263 in their clinics. For those yet to adopt TG‐263, the staffing and implementation efforts were the main cause for delaying adoption. Fewer respondents had trouble adopting TG‐263 for organs at risk (29%) versus target (44%) nomenclature. Common themes in written feedback were lack of physician support and available resources, especially in vendor systems, to facilitate adoption.ConclusionsWhile there is strong support and belief in the benefit of standardized nomenclature, the widespread adoption of TG‐263 has been hindered by the effort needed by staff for implementation. Feedback from the survey is being utilized to drive the focus of the update efforts and create tools to facilitate easier adoption of TG‐263.

对放射肿瘤学标准化命名法实施的看法和障碍：TG-263U1 的一项调查

目的 AAPM 第 263U1 号任务组（第 263 号报告的更新 - 放射肿瘤学术语标准化）分发了一项调查，以接收有关利用、差距和促进进一步采用的方法的反馈。方法该调查由 TG-263U1 成员创建，以征求反馈来自从事放射肿瘤学工作的物理学家、剂量师和医生。关于采用 TG-263 标准的问题与人口统计信息相结合，例如临床角色、主要就业地点（例如私立医院、学术中心）和机构规模。该调查通过电子邮件发送给所有 AAPM、AAMD 和 ASTRO 成员。 结果该调查收到 463 份回复，其中 310 份已完成的调查回复用于分析，其中大多数具有医学物理学家的临床角色（73%），并且大多数来自美国(83%)。有 83% 的受访者表示他们认为拥有命名标准很重要或非常重要，61% 的受访者在其诊所中采用了全部或部分 TG-263。对于那些尚未采用 TG-263 的人来说，人员配置和实施工作是推迟采用的主要原因。与目标 (44%) 命名法相比，较少的受访者在采用 TG-263 命名有风险的器官 (29%) 时遇到困难。书面反馈中的共同主题是缺乏医生支持和可用资源，特别是在供应商系统中，以促进采用。结论虽然标准化命名法的好处得到了强烈支持和相信，但 TG-263 的广泛采用受到了这一努力的阻碍工作人员需要实施。调查反馈将用于推动更新工作的重点，并创建工具以促进 TG-263 的更轻松采用。
